It is the R. Vickery School, built in 1910. It was a former public school and one of the older school buildings still standing.

It's in shambles now, even the plywood covering the windows and doors is falling off.

It's a good example of demolition by neglect. According to TAD, the City of Fort Worth owns the property.

In the short 2 to 3 years since the sat images were taken by Google Earth and Bing, that entire street has gone downhill REALLY fast.

So, does anyone from the city know what they're going to do with this structure? Of will it eventually cave in? South and east Fort Worth is seriously blighted and in need of urban renewal.It's a good example of demolition by neglect. According to TAD, the City of Fort Worth owns the property.
